Evil Lines in the Taa.n.

and thought arc face changers, if may OK
press myself that way. In youth boy may
have hard, sullen and almost villainous
face, but in manhood this may have changed
Tho lines are softcncd and tho expression is
altered. Natural intelligence has been in
creased, but the nature of the beast is still
there, and when it breaks out in lawlessnes,,
if it ever does, this boy becomes a criminal
more difficult to detect and shreWder in his
crimes than he would have been had he
grown up following the natural bent of his
